How to register Illustrator CS2 after the trial has expired?

My brother has a legitimate copy of Illustrator CS2 that he doesn't use any more.  On my PC, I had a copy of Illustrator CS2 trial version a while back.  Now I want to install his copy, but it keeps telling me that the trial version has expired.  What can I do beside reformatting my HD?  Any help is much appreciated.

Just FYI....
My brother has a legitimate copy of Illustrator CS2 that he doesn't use any more. 
Assuming "doesn't use anymore" means he's upgraded to a newer version, so no longer need CS2..... that makes your install of Illustrator CS2 illegal.
The only way he can legally allow you to use the disk to install on your computer is if he completely uninstalls Illustrator. License transfer may be needed as well if you wish to be the legal owner of the application.
Not saying this is the case. Just pointing out the facts.

  • I worked on a trial of LR 5 on a catalog and now can't open my files in my LR4 after the trial has expired. How do I access my catalog now?

    I upgraded my LR4 catalog for a trial LR5 and now can't open my original LR4 catalog. What do I do to open my files?

    It sounds as if you are using  the Lightroom 5 version from the creative cloud, and you don't have a subscription. The Lightroom behavior you are describing is what happens when you don't have an active creative cloud subscription. Upgrading catalogs from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5 does not do anything to the original catalog if you can find and start Lightroom 4, you should be able to start right where you left off. But any new files that you imported into Lightroom 5 will not be there. They will be on your hard drive and you can import them again. But you are going back to a catalog that was used up until you installed Lightroom 5. Hopefully, you didn't uninstall Lightroom 4.

  • Desktop module has been disabled and I dont know where to go to reactivate it with my serial number. I have used LR5 for a bit, and the trial has expired. please explian

    How do i reactivate my desktop module after the trial has expired. I have a serial number but no idea how to make it work

    The Develop-Disabled message is usually for the CC version of LR that comes with PS as part of the Photography Plan for $10/month.
    A serial number would be for the non-CC version of LR.
    If you have purchased the non-CC version of LR, then uninstall the CC version, or whatever version of LR you have using your normal OS-uninstall procedures, then download and install the non-CC version of LR from the Adobe Updates page, version LR 5.7, and register with the serial number you have:

    Hi, my trial version of Lightroom 5 has recently expired and I have now fully bought it. I have uploaded the CD onto my Mac, but when I open the Lightroom application again, it still says the trial has expired. Does anybody know how I can update it so I can finally use it again? I really appreciate any help!! Thank you!

    Joanne please remove your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom using the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    You will then want to download Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the entire application.  Photoshop Lightroom can not be installed through the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application and still be licensed with a serial number.

  • TS4009 how do you retrieve information after the system has been reset to default

    how do you retrieve information after the system has been reset to default?

    From a backup on itunes or icloud, assuming you have made backups.  Connect to itunes and in the first tab for your device, choose to perform a restore.

  • Can't seem to get pass the trial has expired page even though I bought a plan.

    I'm using a macbook. I bought the complete student and teachers package plan, but I don't seem to get pass the trial has expired join now page. Every time I install a software from my creative cloud I get the trial version of the software and for some, it tells me that trial is expired and it gives me two options, one to Join Now (which I've already done; I have a plan) and the other is to license the software, and since I registered online, I don't have a serial number so I don't know from where can I redeem the code. I tried everything, from uninstalling and reinstalling the softwares, to signing in from both the creative cloud software and the online website. I just don't know what more can I do. I bought this plan last night, and I need the softwares urgently.

    Please try below steps
    Launch any Creative Cloud product and click on License this software, Then choose Not my Adobe ID and sign in
    If it is still asking for serial number, then check your hosts file entries once
    Open below link and refer step 3

  • When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    Lets clear a couple of things up first.
    1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
    2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
    Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.

  • My 30 day Photoshop trial finished yesterday. I purchased the $9.99 per month Photoshop package and received an email saying "Thank you for your payment etc" But when I go to open PS it still says "the trial has expired.."

    My 30 day Photoshop trial finished yesterday. I purchased the $9.99 per month Photoshop package and received an email saying "Thank you for your payment etc" But when I go to open PS it still says "the trial has expired.." Is it supposed to work automatically or is there a step I'm missing?

    1. Close all the Adobe Applications. Log-out from creative.adobe.com and re-login.
    2. Once you launch the software and when you get the error saying the the trial version has expired, you will have an option saying "License this software".
    3. Select this option and enter your credentials and click next.

  • Credit Risk Analyzer - How limits can be reset after the term has ended

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know how limits can be reset after the transaction term has ended.
    Currently, my utilization reports still show past transactions and this transactions are still affecting my limit calculation report.
    Am I missing a process or a configuration?
    Also, would anyone know where the SAP limit utilization report is pulling out the transactions so when I run the limit utilization report, I can still view historical data?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jerry,
      I do not think this customization helps. It only has two options to set start date as start of term or as date of commitment. But what if i want to set in future like your problem. Do we make it date of commitment for all the money market instruments?
    Best regards!

  • I can't watch my adobe premiere pro cc movie now the trial has expired

    Hi all,
    I tried the trial version of adobe premiere pro cc and enjoyed it very much - I made a short movie using it but now the trial version has expired I can no longer watch the movie I made or show it to anyone :-(  I realise now that I should have saved it as an .avi file for example so that I could use it after the trial expired.  Is there any way I can do this now or has anyone got any suggestions?  I can't afford to buy the full version at the moment but would like to at least keep the video I spent so long making!
    Thanks in advance

    The only way to open a Premiere Pro CC project is to have PProCC
    Your original files are where you left them, but the work you did is only available if you have PProCC
    Can you afford under $100 for Premiere Elements? (although, it may be best to wait... version 11 is current, and v12 "should" be out in the next month or two for holiday shopping)
    Premiere Elements will NOT open your PProCC project, but at least it costs less... and is still a one time purchase, not a monthly rental

  • How to recreate account.plist after the file has become corrupt

    I updated my system to Mavericks last week and ever since my computer has become dramtically slow. Especially Mail takes about 30 minutes to open. I have discovered that the fault is caused by my account.plist file as it is 24 MB which seems way to big. I have already deleted the file and then Mail opens well and fuctions normal.
    However when I add my accounts again it creates new POP folders in the V2 folder instead of using the old existing ones and it starts downloading the emails that still remain on the server. I would like to keep keep all emails etc just the way they are already on the system but basically just recreate a fresh "account.plist" file. How can I do this without the issue that mail creates new folders but just uses the existing folders???
    I also already tried the following:
    - delete "account.plist"
    - Add new account in Mail
    - New folder is created in the V2 folder for that email address
    - Copy the old mbox files for that account into the automatically new created  folder
    The above seems to work but mail still starts downloading 200+ plus emails from the server.......
    Any help how I can edit my account.plist file and delete unnessesary items there?? It seems that there is a lot of text in the file regarding my hotmail account and I expect that this is causing it to be so large. I have no idea though how to read this file and what I can delete and what not.....
    At this moment I am pretty stuck and any help is welcome here.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers, so what you are seeing MAY be the result of clicking an option to get a discount based on a previous purchase

  • How to restore Firefox windows after the restore has already been done?

    System:
    Firefox 3.6.16
    Windows Vista Business 64-bit
    Service Pack 2
    Core2 Extreme Q9300 4 x 2.53 GHz
    8 GB RAM
    I had 187 Firefox windows open when Firefox crashed. I had restore on. When the window that asks which windows I want to restore appeared, I deselected a few pages that I thought might be causing problems. I've never done this before (choose not restore all the windows that were open) and Firefox has always managed to restore all my windows. But having chosen 3 out of 187 not to open, Firefox only opened 30. The rest seem to be lost. In principle I should be able to find them in my history, but I visit hundreds of pages per day and only keep open a couple until the next day. My open Firefox windows to some extent constitute my to-do list, and some have been open for months. Stupidly, I had not backed up this to-do list (with for example screen captures) and I would really like to get it back. I am not afraid of a little hacking. Is there anything I can do?
    [And by the way, this is not really related to the above problem: after a while it often becomes impossible to actually open some of the Firefox windows that I have open. I probably average around 80, but range from 15 or so 150 usually. [I try to close them as I work through them with some success, so that the numbers don't just keep on increasing.] But this is not so much a problem because when click on Firefox in the task bar, I still get to see the titles of the webpages I am on and I can easily relocate them if I can't open a particular page. Yes, I do realise that the real solution to my problems would be to have less windows open, but that ill suits the way I work.]
